Question 1

i have hairs on chin that irritate me ?

Accepted Answer

Might consider: electrolysis or if they are dark/thick - laser may be an option.

Question 2

small dark hairs on the chin of a young female. why?

Accepted Answer

Depends on age: It is normal for girls to have fine (vellus) hair on the face. At puberty, some girls will develop a few dark (terminal) hairs as circulating hormones (estrogen, testosterone) increase. Heredity is a strong predictor of facial hair and it is common for women in certain ethnic groups. Heavy facial hair (hirsutism) is abnormal especially if accompanied by voice change, irregular periods and balding.

Question 3

any health problems with head full of hair when born?

Accepted Answer

No: Unless there is hair on the palms, don't worry. That full head of hair will shed soon enough before new hair comes in. :).

Question 4

what causes hair on th head to grow faster and thicker?

Accepted Answer

Rogaine, (minoxidil) Propecia: The only two hair growth products currently on the market with real clinical data to support their use are rogaine (minoxidil) (topical) and Propecia (oral). They work by different mechanisms, so I have my patients use both. Rogaine (minoxidil) is otc, Propecia requires a prescription. The downside is that insurance seldom pays for either one; but Propecia is about to go generic, which should lower the price.
